International Applications

Complete the Inquiry Form

All prospective students who wish to receive the Viewbook, schedule an
interview, receive invitations to events in their home area, and apply to The
Lawrenceville School should first submit this Inquiry
Form.

Tests

International candidates for grades 9 and 10 must take the Secondary School
Admission Test (SSAT). Applicants should investigate as soon as possible test
center availability in their country, as the SSAT is not administered with the
same frequency outside of the U.S. If the SSAT is not given in the
applicant’s country, we will evaluate other standardized test results
from the applicant’s record.

SSAT

The Lawrenceville code: 4564We only accept test scores directly from SSAT; we do not accept copies
from your school or consultant. To prevent delays be sure to list us
as a score recipient when you register for your test. We will also accept the
ISEE in lieu of the SSAT.

International candidates for grade 11 may submit results from an SSAT,
or alternatively, a PSAT, SAT, or ACT taken within the current school
year.

International candidates for grade 12 and the post-graduate year must
submit results from a PSAT, SAT, or ACT taken within the current year.

All international applicants must demonstrate proficiency in oral and
written English. For applicants whose native language is not English, and whose
language of instruction for the most recent four years of schooling has not
been English, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is
required.

Interview

A formal interview is required for admission to Lawrenceville. We offer
interview appointments from September through January, and recommend your visit
to campus as an important part of getting to feel the warmth and strength of
community that makes Lawrenceville a special place.

If you are not able to visit Lawrenceville for a formal interview, you
may refer to our Alumni Interview Network to schedule an interview closer to
home. We also offer interviews via Skype on select dates (please see the
interview schedule above, Skype interviews are listed in red). Requests
for Skype and alumni interviews must be made prior to December 13, with an
interview completion deadline of January 16. Applicants must have
submitted an Inquiry Form and Part I (the Candidate Statement) of the online
application prior to requesting an alumni interview, or appointment by
Skype.

Please contact us at admission@lawrenceville.org to notify us if you have
scheduled an alumni interview, or to schedule an appointment with an Admissions
Counselor via Skype. Please provide your Skype ID and preferred dates based on
our interview schedule above.

If the deadline for scheduling an interview
has passed, we will waive the interview requirement. Once the Admission
Committee reviews an application, we may contact an applicant for additional
information as needed.
